BodyCures in Yorktown Heights now offers thermography, or infrared imaging of the breasts, and full body scanning. Thermography is a painless, non-radiating, non-invasive imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a variety of medical conditions, and breast thermography can aid in the early detection of breast cancer, according to the United Breast Cancer Foundation.

“By carefully examining changes in the temperature and blood vessels of the breasts, we can detect signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth up to 10 years earlier than other procedures,” says Dr. John Foley, co-founder of BodyCures. “This provides for the earliest detection of cancer possible.”

In addition to monitoring breast health, thermal body scans can identify and track a number of concerns, including cardiovascular disease, stroke risk, thyroid issues, digestion problems, skin cancer, unexplained pain, arthritis, hormonal imbalances and more. “Thermography is a pro-active approach to monitoring abnormal patterns of inflammation,” says Foley. “It detects imbalances long before symptoms appear and substantially increases the possibilities for prevention. If a woman is alerted to abnormal changes on her scan, she can work with her practitioner to address diet, vitamin deficiencies, detoxification and other aspects of health to try and reverse or prevent the progression of disease.”
